Write to From earliest time man has sought for the shelter of a roof oyer his head. From the thatched roof of the jungle dweller, and the prehistoric: stone covar, to the shingled security of the modern home represents a long span. Through these years man has accumuâ€" lated a deal of experience by which he is now beginning to profit. In the past, a roofing material which was really durable, was more often than not completely out of the financial reach of the average home builder. The Johnsâ€"Manville Corporâ€" ation has developed in the last few years, an asbestos shingle which is well .within the possibilities of even the smallest homes. 6 With the passing of the grass roof and the stone cave, man has, by virâ€" tue a number of â€"roofing materials which _ give satisfactory â€" service. Slate, tile and asbestos shingles, are all typical .of . modern construction; Asbestos, itself a rock, embodies all the permanence of. those cave dwellâ€" ings which still exist today. e * _ Help make this a . smokeless sum- mer. 4 ; Tok ; ces a Constructed in a hexagoal shape it provides for the elimination of waste in laying. By the old methods, shinâ€" gles overlapped to such an extent that the entire roof was eovered with at least a double thickness of shingles. But with the Johnsâ€"Manville Hexaâ€" gonal Shingle overlapping has been cut to a minimum, with a consequent great reduction in the amount of roofâ€" ing material necessary. \ ° To Great strides forward in solution of the roofing problem have been made in the last few years. No longer does the owner have to roof with old ‘style inflammhable materials, but with asâ€" bestcfi slate ‘or other fireproof roofâ€" ‘Not only is this possiblé, but he may thus eqmp himself at a moderâ€" ate experiditur «* â€" «t c 04 A roof so covered possesses maniâ€" fold advantages quite obscure to the uninitiated. It is absolutely weatherâ€" tight, permanently durable, fireâ€"safe, and above all economical to a markâ€" ed degree. It is indeed fortunate that with all these material advantâ€" ages we have, not only a roof to please the pockethook, but a roof <o delight the The broken line ‘beauty achieved through the hexagonal method of la‘y- ing is a pleasant departure" from the stiff, straight lined roof to which we are accustomed. To have a roof that is begutiful, that is durable, that is permanent, and that is fireâ€"safe should satisfy the most rigid requireâ€" ments. To have a roof oK Hexagonal Asbestos Bhingles is to have all of this, forever. . . _ On Wednesday, June 15th, the Saâ€" cred Heart Church at New Liskeard, profusely decorated for_the occasion with pink| and white carnations, roses and feérns, â€"was the scene of a Â¥very pretty June wedding, when Theresa Mary, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.

At theâ€" same time it may be noted that jnsuran?e that does not pay when claims occur is certainly not cheap insurance, or, indeed, may be termed insurance at all. under thewable direction of an.expert landscape gardener is nearing the stages of completion so far as the hand of man is concerned. â€"It reâ€" quires time now, and the touch of nature to complete the work. tAz Exd L Insurance with foreign fire insurâ€" ance companies may be common in this country, but last week a new one eame to public notice through a proâ€" jected court action. It was a case of insurance with a Chinese concern. A court action, involving an insurance .company ‘having its head office in Shanghai, China, has been started in the District Court of Temiskaming. Colin McRae, Hudson township, who lost ‘his dwelling house, blacksmith shop, other buildings and some farm produce by fire, has entered:.agction against the Yangâ€"Tze Insurance Assoâ€" ciation, Shanghai, to recover $497.02. being insurance he carried on the pig sty and poultry house at his property.

The order States that on the recommendation of the L%msher of Lands and Forests, and under section 44 of the mining act, ‘all lands and. mining rights that are ‘the property df the Crown are withdrawn for prosâ€" pectmg and staer,lg and from sale or lease under the mining act, Twelse townships ‘are affected, also the Gilâ€" lies limits, the country designated as included in the seope of the orderâ€"inâ€" council being one mile on eath side of the centre line of the North Bay to Cobalt road. There have been a numâ€" ber of claims already staked in the strip of land refered to, and it is unâ€" derstood that the purpose of the orâ€" derâ€"inâ€"council is to prevent individnâ€" als from staking out land along this part of the\lnxghway with a view to establishing camping grounds for themselves or their friends or for proâ€" fit.
